WORX WG170 GT Revolution 20V 12-inch Trimmer/Edger Review


A string trimmer can be powered by gasoline, by a battery, or with a traditional power cord plugged into an outdoor outlet. All three types can cut well, depending on the model. However, if you tired of hauling around a heavy and smelly gas-driven string trimmer or tripping over exposed cord, then the WORX GT Revolution 20V 12-inch 3-in-1 yard tool may be the perfect for you.

WORX engineers created a revolutionary, next generation GT that’s even more versatile, effortless and unstoppable. They added more features and even improved upon the features and performance of the GT. WORX WG170 GT Revolution features 3-in-1 flexibility, instantly converts from a precision string trimmer, to a powerful in-line wheeled edger, then to an easy-to-navigate mini mower. New features include the Command Feed extends line on command with the push of a button, on-board extra spool holder eliminate downtime and wasted trips to the garage, a longer shaft and reduced weight.

To efficiently feed the line, just press the Command Feed button as needed while the machine is running until you hear the ‘clattering’ noise of the line cutting. The line will automatically feed to the perfect length for trimming. The motor will shut off when pressing the Command Feed button and will restart when the button is released.

The Worx Revolution is designed to be fully adjustable from the telescoping shaft, 7-position auxiliary handle, and 6-position pivoting trimmer head. At its shortest, the GT Revolution is 35-3/4” long, but when fully extended, it’s a full 55-1/2” long. That’s a complete foot longer than previous Worx GT models to better accommodate even our tallest users comfortably. Don’t contort yourself to fit your trimmer, let it adapt to you.

To turn the cutting head for edging mode, grasp the black part of the shaft just above the cutting mind with one hand and the orange locking collar with the other hand. Pull the tool apart, and you’ll feel the parts of the Revolution slide about an in . along the shaft. Twist the hands on the shaft over the trimming head 90 degrees and release. To convert it back to trimming, repeat the steps, but twist 90 degrees in the opposite direction.

The two 2.0 Ah 20 Volt Max Lithium Batteries included are designed to provide enough working time per charge to trim up to the average 1/4-acre yard on one charge. This 2.0 Ah battery can hold almost twice the amount of energy as previous 1.3 Ah model in the same size due to advanced battery chemistry, which means even more power and run time when it really counts. The batteries are fully compatible with over 30 other 20V WORX products so if you already have one or more Power Share batteries, you can buy the GT Revolution without a battery for a much lower cost.

The Lithium battery must be fully charged before first use (it is not charged when you purchase it) which can take about 5 hours to fully charge each of the included batteries with the included charger. And never squeezing all battery juice out of the electric battery when it stops working. That’s a sure-fire way to kill the battery. Just put it on the charger and recharge it. With two, you can keep one on the charger while you work, and monitor your battery’s power level with the built-in power gauge.

If you’re looking for a lightweight, adjustable, and convenient cordless string trimmer for the common lawn size for American homes (about one-fifth of an acre). This WORX WG170 GT Revolution 20V should be more than adequate for most homeowners.
